‘Signal Conditioner’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Safety relays simplify control-system design from Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments: "SDI's model 01424 can be utilised with a variety of instrumentation systems to measure rotating torque, including the 90386 USB Sensor Link. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from ESI Group - take a look at Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat which says: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".

Take a look also at the news release from Freudenberg Simrit LP, Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing , as well as Agilent adds J-Bert N4903B to Superspeed USB test from Agilent Technologies Europe, and Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw.
